Control Switch Assessment System

Ability Switch Tester, model 65955, is control switch assessment system designed for use with individuals who use control switches to operate devices. This unit provides visual and auditory indications when a switch is activated. The switch is plugged into the tester, and switch closure is indicated by a light and a tone. The auditory feedback can be switched off. This device is equipped with jacks for single, dual, and multiple switches. POWER: Uses one 9-volt battery. DIMENSIONS: 6 x 3.5 x 1.5

The Beeper Box, model H-12, is a switch assessment system designed for use in testing control switches. This unit has two switch inputs that accept any switch with a standard 0.125-inch plug. The interface beeps when activated. Switches can be plugged in for testing or to produce morse code. Using two switches for morse code gives beeps of different pitch and volume. The louder input can be used for switch testing. POWER: Uses 2 triple-A batteries. DIMENSIONS (HxDxW): 1 x 2 x 4 inches.

Children's Switch Progressions (formerly R.J.'s Switch Progressions) is a control switch training program designed for use by children with upper extremity and cognitive disabilities. This program offers seven activities for training in the use of single switches (or a touch screen). The activities progress from requiring that a switch be activated randomly to requiring that the switch be activated at specifically timed intervals. Skills developed include understanding cause/effect and attending

Creature Chorus Sterling Edition is single switch program designed to introduce the concepts of cause and effect, turn taking, visual tracking, discrete pointing, and use of a single switch for individuals with developmental, physical, or visual disabilities. The program offers nine games for use with a single switch, touch screen, or the space bar. Eight animated characters introduce the concepts of cause and effect, switch use, visual tracking, discrete pointing, and turn taking. Games range f

The Dual Switch Latch and Timer is a device that controls the mode of operation of two momentary contact switches. The latching function changes the action of the switch from momentary to latching on/off. The timing function keeps the circuit closed for a preset amount of time for each activation of the switch, and it can set the duration for which the switch must be pressed in order to be activated. The Dual Switch Latch and Timer can be used to control battery operated devices if used with a b

--- "DO IT YOURSELF" ENTRY ------- PURPOSE: Device to evaluate a person's optimal ability to operate a scanning device. A simple adapter unit provides access to many commercially available switches. The user can compare the use a wide selection of switches. The device can scan in three modes: step scan, directed scan, or latching scan. Speed can be adjusted. the evaluation device has five display panels to scan through during each evaluation session. Plexiglass cover can be removed to change ite

The Switch Assessment Kit, model 65994, is a control switch assessment system designed for testing and evaluating individuals with physical disabilities. This Assessment Kit includes 17 different single switches, a single switch tester, two toy cables, one SCATIR switch, a carrying case and the Tash Switch Training CD.

SSPT (Single Switch Performance Test) is a control switch assessment program designed with use by individuals who use a single switch control with an alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) device. This software facilitates measurement of the ability to activate a single switch, including the average time required to activate or release the switch (following visual and/or audio prompts) and the speed of repetitive activations. The switch under test is connected to the computer as a mous

Teenage Switch Progressions is a control switch training program designed for use by teenagers with upper extremity disabilities. This program includes five simulation activities designed for those making the transition from randomly activating a single switch to activating a switch with specific timing. The skills taught include cause and effect (level 0) and attending to extended tasks (level 1), following directions (level 2), and responding to visual or auditory computer information (levels
